United Thread - 2023/24

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The big question we should be asking is why have the media suddenly started bringing out negative stories about the rags? They never did before - far from it.
It's easy to say that under that repugnant, Glaswegian dictator, the press were too fearful of reprisals to ask questions: but he's been gone (theoretically, anyway) for years and years. Now, within the last couple of months, there have been more articles criticising the vermin -both in print and within the broadcasting media- than there ever was before.
I was told earlier that even Neil Custis had written something in the tabloids about the alleged fisticuffs at the swamp. This would not have happened a year ago.

Yup.

Domething has definitely gone on behind the scenes for all these stories to come out the way they are.

An arguement up can only be benneficial if you have a leader in the dressing room to later on say "alright lads, you have had your rants, now buck up, the lot of you, we all want to win..." and get them all to shake hands. I don't think Utd have that in their dressing room currently. If you don't have that, bad feelings can fester and create a toxic atmosphere pretty sharpish.

If it is straight punch ups they had then that's pretty bad.

I heard it was Rashford who threw the punch. He‘s got a heavy punch on him. The only issue was that he missed the target and punched a coat peg.

It was misconstrued as when Fernandes saw the punch being thrown, he hit the floor like a sack of spuds and spat fake blood out of his mouth.

Haha! I hate united so much I refuse to learn when they’re actually playing

I do but I’m looking forward to tomorrow nearly as much as our game. ;)

And coat peg will resign as manager?

Yep, Ralf is coming back.

Yep, Ralf is coming back.

He’s the best and most qualified they’ve had in recent times :-)

Manchester United deny report that 'four stars were involved in a furious dressing room bust-up' after their dismal 3-1 defeat by Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday​

"Four stars"
I couldn't count one.

Bad press creates a crisis, and what happens to the share price during a crisis? Half a billion wiped of the valuation of the class B shares. If Qatar intend to get 100% ownership, they have to buy the class B shares.

Is that motive enough for all these leaks and stories coming out of the blue. Saving yourself half a billion quid?

I think so.
